4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device determines a total as a function of the detected time periods per mobile apparatus and the device increases the total of the respective mobile apparatus by an additional time period which is longer the larger the number of different positions for the respective mobile apparatus.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a display, wherein the device determines a first set and a second set of mobile apparatuses, wherein each mobile apparatus located within the range of the vehicle forms part of the first set, wherein each mobile apparatus for which a wireless communication link has been set up to the vehicle once forms part of the second set, wherein the device determines a total as a function of the detected time periods per mobile apparatus, wherein the device displays a list of mobile apparatuses on the display, wherein the device arranges the list in the following order: firstly those mobile apparatuses from the first set for which the total is larger than a total threshold value, subsequently those mobile apparatuses from the first set which are not yet on the list, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses from the second set which are not yet on the list, wherein the device detects a selection of a mobile apparatus from the displayed list, and wherein the device sets up the wireless communication link to the selected mobile apparatus.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a display, wherein the device determines a first set and a second set of mobile apparatuses, wherein each mobile apparatus located within the range of the vehicle forms part of the first set, wherein each mobile apparatus for which a wireless communication link to the vehicle has been set up once forms part of the second set, wherein a mobile apparatus for which there is currently a wireless communication link to the device does not form part of the second set, wherein the device determines a total as a function of the detected time periods per mobile apparatus, wherein the device displays a list of mobile apparatuses on the display, wherein the device arranges the list in the following order: firstly those mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set and for which the total is larger than a total threshold value, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set but are not yet on the list, wherein the device detects a selection of a mobile apparatus from the displayed list, and wherein the device sets up the wireless communication link to the selected mobile apparatus.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the device also fills the list of mobile apparatuses on the display in the following order: according to the mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set, those mobile apparatuses which form part of the first set and for which the total is larger than a further total threshold value and which are not yet listed, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses which form part of the first set and which are not yet listed.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the device displays the list on the display such that, for each displayed mobile apparatus, it is possible to determine whether the respective mobile apparatus forms part of the first set and/or second set.

9. A method for setting up a wireless communication link to a mobile apparatus for a vehicle, the method comprising: detecting time periods during which a respective mobile apparatus from a plurality of mobile apparatuses is located within range of the radio for setting up the wireless communication link; detecting the respective time period for each mobile apparatus of the plurality within range; setting up the wireless communication link to at least one mobile apparatus as a function of the detected time periods; detecting a number of different positions of the vehicle at which the respective mobile apparatus is within range of the vehicle; and setting up the wireless communication link to the mobile apparatus as a function of the detected number.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining a total as a function of the detected time periods per mobile apparatus and automatically setting up the wireless communication link to at least one mobile apparatus as a function of the total.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising dividing the total of the respective mobile apparatus by a factor which is larger than 1 at regular time intervals or whenever the vehicle starts.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising increasing the total of the respective mobile apparatus by an additional time period which is longer the larger the number of different positions for the respective mobile apparatus.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: determining a first set and a second set of mobile apparatuses, wherein each mobile apparatus located within the range of the vehicle forms part of the first set, wherein each mobile apparatus for which a wireless communication link has been set up to the vehicle once forms part of the second set; displaying a list of mobile apparatuses on a display, wherein the list is arranged in the following order: firstly those mobile apparatuses from the first set for which the total is larger than a total threshold value, subsequently those mobile apparatuses from the first set which are not yet on the list, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses from the second set which are not yet on the list, wherein the method further comprises detecting a selection of a mobile apparatus from the displayed list, and setting up the wireless communication link to the selected mobile apparatus.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: determining a first set and a second set of mobile apparatuses, wherein each mobile apparatus located within the range of the vehicle forms part of the first set, wherein each mobile apparatus for which a wireless communication link to the vehicle has been set up once forms part of the second set, wherein a mobile apparatus for which there is currently a wireless communication link to the device does not form part of the second set; and displaying a list of mobile apparatuses on a display, wherein the list is arranged in the following order: firstly those mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set and for which the total is larger than a total threshold value, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set but are not yet on the list, wherein the method further comprises detecting a selection of a mobile apparatus from the displayed list, and setting up the wireless communication link to the selected mobile apparatus.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising filling the list of mobile apparatuses on the display in the following order: according to the mobile apparatuses which form part both of the first set and of the second set, those mobile apparatuses which form part of the first set and for which the total is larger than a further total threshold value and which are not yet listed, and subsequently those mobile apparatuses which form part of the first set and which are not yet listed.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein for each displayed mobile apparatus, it is possible to determine whether the respective mobile apparatus forms part of the first set and/or second set based on the displayed list.
